Guest steelcabby Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Gearbox looks great mate, alot better than it was anyway. oh and if you go onto www.rs2000-16v.com there are some really good ideas and tips. there is a bloke on there that does the modified exhaust manifold ported and strengthened etc for £100. or if your stuck on anything that is the best place for help. there are some really good folk on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
